What is Community-based rehabilitation?

The aim of community-based rehabilitation is to help people with disabilities, by establishing community-based medical integration, equalization of opportunities, and Physical therapy rehabilitation programs for disabled people. The strength of CBR programs is that they can be made available in rural areas, with limited infrastructure, as program leadership is not restricted to professionals in healthcare, educational, Physiotherapy, Occupational therapy vocational or social services. Rather, CBR programs involve the people with disabilities themselves, their families and communities, as well as appropriate professionals. Some are doing their own works.
